The QLS exam, similar to the other ASCP exams, has a content outline and recommended reading list on the BOC website. The reading list is a ton of material, but it gives you a good sense of the published guidelines used to create the exam. At minimum, the exam outline will give you a good guide of the topics covered. Sometimes I think we know our own processes at our workplace the best and don't always think about how safety needs could be different at other sites that are smaller/larger than us or that have simpler/more complex procedures. The outline could help making sure that you study "all" possibilities.
Good luck! Diane

Hello,
I was reaching out to ask if anyone had any suggestions on how to prepare for the QLS exam. I have completed the prep course through NSH, but wanted to know if there was any type of study guide or book similar to the BOC books.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Shaun
